October is American Pharmacists Month: Here's Why It Matters

Every October, we celebrate American Pharmacists Month to honor the crucial role pharmacists and pharmacy staff play in healthcare. Pharmacies are more than just places to pick up prescriptions—they are community health hubs where trusted professionals provide care, advice, and essential services that keep us healthy.
